PatrickLucas, 24, died unexpectedly on Saturday, January 16, 2010. A beloved son, brother and friend, Patrick had a contagious love of life and vibrant personality. His quick-witted humor and jovial demeanor brought energy to any situation. He was an avid video game player and toy collector. Patrick was known for his elaborate homemade Halloween costumes. He also enjoyed singing and was in several choirs throughout his life. Patrick worked at the Manchester Community College Library for seven years and was presently employed by Ticket Network of Vernon, CT. Patrick is survived by his devoted mother Kathleen Kinnen of Newington, the love of his life Lorene Flansbury, of Newington, with whom he made his home, his brother and best friend Jeremy Lucas of Bristol, his sister Robyn Lucas of Nevada, his aunt Janice Curlee of Houston, TX and many other close friends. We will celebrate his life on Thursday, 8:00 p.m. at Newington Memorial Funeral Home, 20 Bonair Ave., Newington.

Memories & Candles

I did not know Pat very well but Kathy, I was so shocked when I found out what happened from you. You have been in my family's life for a long time because we have been going to the same dentist forever. And Lorene, I am so sorry you have lost the love of your life. We may have grown apart since riding the bus together in elementary school but I was always so happy you had found great love with Pat. I am thinking and praying for you all.

I was sad to hear about the loss of Pat. In high school he was one of the brightest and most talented individuals. He will be greatly missed and my heart goes out to Lorene and his family and friends.

I love you Pat. You'll always be one of my closest friends. I don't think I ever directly told you that, but it's true. Any time I was back in Connecticut, seeing you, Lorene, and Kimmy was one of the things I looked forward to most. I feel so lucky I got to see you a bunch of times over the Holidays this past month, and I feel eternally lucky that I had the privilege of being your friend. I'm so sorry to everyone else who was blessed in knowing Pat. We'll love him forever. Love, Matt Henry

Kathy, My condolences to you and your family.I have not seen you guys in about 20 plus years. I think it goes back to the JCPenney days when I used to watch Patrick and Robyn part time. Patrick was a good little boy and I am sure he was a fine young man. sincerely, Maryann Dorsey

I am still in shock. Pat, I will never not think of you as a hilarious, intelligent, ardent person. You are in so many of my memories of Newington. To your family: The fact that this awful news travelled to South America so quickly is evidence of how special Pat is. I'm so sorry; know that Pat will be missed.

To Patrick's family, my thoughts have been with you all since I heard the terrible news this week. Patrick was a really interesting and lovable soul, always in flip-flops regardless of the season and always ready to share a moment of spontaneous nonsense. He had many friends here at TN. I'll forever remember him immersed in science-fiction books on his lunch break, often outside in the quadrangle, surrounded by glass windows for all to see. Patrick was indeed a rare

To Patrick's family, my thoughts have been with you all since I heard the terrible news this week. Patrick was a really interesting and lovable soul, always in flip-flops regardless of the season and always ready to share a moment of spontaneous nonsense. He had many friends here at TN. I'll forever remember him immersed in science-fiction books on his lunch break, often outside in the quadrangle, surrounded by glass windows for all to see. Patrick was indeed a rare specimen, with an epic sense of humor and an original take on most any subject you discussed with him. I cannot begin to imagine how big the gap is he left behind for you all. It's true that I hardly knew him at all compared to you, but I feel the loss as I write these words. My family send all their love and strength to yours at this sad time.

Jeremy, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. Know that you and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort knowing that he is watching over you all and will always be with you in spirit.

Jeremy, You have been in my thoughts since I heard the news about the passing of your brother. It is so difficult to find words that offer comfort at such a time so I wont even begin to try. I will just hope that the memories you have with your brother will help you and your family get through this tragic loss now and in the days to come.

It was with great sadness that I read of Pat's passing. I still can see him sitting in my algebra class at John Wallace Middle School. He was wonderful. Such a bright young man with a bright future. I feel blessed to have known him. I also had Jeremy and again wonderful young man. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this most difficult time. Bless all of you.
